We were driving to that village to write an article about the National Guard servicemen, but the check point commander listened to our request and unexpectedly said: “You better tell a story about a local woman. She is a stationmaster. She helps us like the most restless and active volunteers do. Her name is Halyna Panasivna, but we call her simply Grandma Halya. She works at the railroad. She has worked at the nearby railway station her whole life.”

‘Take us to her,” – we were sincerely surprised to hear about such a patriotic resident, because we had heard different stories about pro-Russian minded locals.

Halyna Panasìvna’s modest farmhouse surprised us with the exceptional order and cleanness of the yard. A smiling woman came out to meet us.

“What are you going to write about me? You should write about them,” she said pointing at the National Guard servicemen in the yard of her house. ‘They are the real heroes and the real men!”

“How did it happen that you basically gave away your house to the fighters from the National Guard to stay in it?”

“The guys have been staying in my house since fall. As you can see, the house is not very big, but I couldn’t leave them to live outdoors. The tents and trenches are not as comfortable as a warm house!”

“And how do you live together?”

“We live well. They help me with everything: on the farm and with a kind word. And I try to help the guys, as much as I can. I help to cook, to clean, to do laundry. By the way, you don’t believe me, but they know how to cook even better than me!

“Though, for Christmas holidays, they asked me to cook kutia [editor’s note: a traditional sweet grain pudding]. I made a large pot of it according to all the rules: with honey, poppy seeds, and nuts. We celebrated Christmas together, and New Year too.

“It’s easier for the boys to live in the house. I have a lot of pots and pans. I told them they didn’t need to spend their own money to buy all of it, they could use mine.

“Yesterday, those separatists, while shooting here, damaged a pipeline in a nearby village, so many villages were left without natural gas. So, the guys came up and said: “Grandma Halya, you are not going to be hungry!” They lit a fire and cooked everything. They are men of gold!

We said: “Halyna Panasivna, many locals have fled to other parts of Ukraine, and those who have remained, as we were told, sometimes are even hostile to our army…”

“Oh, guys, this is war, a real war… This is very bad. We lived here without Russians just fine: Western Ukraine, and Eastern… Now, these “neighbors” have come down on us. Who needs them here?

“You know, I remember the second world war. I was a little girl then. Today, the Russians have come here like the Nazis in 1941. Although, the Germans sometimes were even more humane than the terrorists. Now, the whole country must resist them” hand in hand”! We need peace, we need help from the world. Let the Russians live by themselves like they want, but without us.”

“Are you going to miss the guys whom you have provided with a roof above their heads when it’s all over?”

“Of course, I am going to miss them! You know, the guys that stayed here in the first rotation left for [the town of] Severodonetsk. But recently, I looked and saw them coming to greet me. It turned out, they were going home and came over to visit me. I remembered every one of them. It was so nice to see them!

“You know, I’ve seen a lot in my life and I can tell you: there are good men in Ukraine, they are real defenders, they are kind and sensitive.

“On New Year’s day, just imagine it, our Guardsmen put together and brought to a local school presents for every child. Whatever they got from their own families and volunteers, they gave to the children.

“As I watched it, my eyes were full of tears. I thought: how is it so? These men have two or three children of their own, and they are here to protect the country, to help the locals, and even to give gifts to somebody else’s children.

“Lord, we just need freedom, and with such men we will rebuild the country, trust me!”

Explanatory information.
In response to the C. Semenchenko, that the official page of “Volunteer Battalion of the territorial defense of the Donetsk region” Donbass “has been hacked, bring to the attention of:
1) This page has not been compromised. Information is supplied by the same people. S.Semenchenko to this page does not apply.
2) The login and password of the resource has not been modified.
Regarding the request S.Semenchenko in the Ukrainian Defense Ministry to form a battalion MAT “Donbass-Ukraine” states:
1) The actual name of the department “46y separate battalion of special purpose”. It thus passes unit for all documents. When submitting a request for division “Donbass-Ukraine”, knowing the specifics of military documentation S.Semenchenko soldier had to understand that the answer will come negative.
2) We offer to submit another request at the above mentioned unit. And remember that if you request a division of NSU “Donbass” (the formal name of “2nd battalion of special purpose”), the official response will also be negative.
Regarding the so-called “military service” Deputy of Ukraine Seeds Semenchenko declare:
1) According to Ukrainian legislation, S.Semenchenko could not combine the post of commander of the battalion and the position of the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Thus, even 11.24.2014, S.Semenchenko filed an official report with a request to remove him from office. The report was satisfied. Relevant official information exists in the public domain on the official website of the National Guard of Ukraine:
http://vv.gov.ua/news.php?nid=6939&lang=ua
Without a doubt, this site is in no way be compromised could not.
2) According to the report, S.Semenchenko was transferred to serve in the military reserve and the commander of the combat units could not be.
3) According to the Law of Ukraine on military duty and military service are on standby, Semen Semenchenko had no right to lead the division and make official statements on behalf of the department. Thus, from 11.24.2014, the battalion commander “Donbass” he no longer was.
http://zakon4.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/2232-12
4) 02/19/2015 Semen Semenchenko submitted a letter of resignation, surrendered pass reservist in part 3027 and thus formally unrelated to the battalion NSU “Donbass” has not.
Add just that, formally, the battalion S.Semenchenko was enrolled until August 2014. By the time the unit was running Vyacheslav Vlasenko (callsign Owl) and successfully perform combat missions.
All statements S.Semenchenko to the official page of the battalion “Donbass”, as well as attempts to create a parallel to the other, supposedly “official” resources departments are provocation. We remind that recently this kind of provocation is a statement on the establishment of a parallel S.Semenchenko General Staff for the volunteer battalions, and this information was denied by official statements commanders volunteer battalions.
Military units are not required to be guided by speculation civilians.

InformNapalm has previously described the criminal schemes going on in the so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic” (the DNR) in the article DNR’s Corruption Outrages its Own Officials. The editorial office of InformNapalm has received new information about the cases of lawlessness and anarchy among the people who call themselves the authorities of the “Donetsk People’s Republic”.

Here, we present a detailed report from the source in the DNR about the situation in Donetsk:

“On December 9, 2014, there were rumors about the arrest and taking into custody of [the DNR leader] Alexander Zakharchenko by battalion commanders, who were extremely dissatisfied with his unsatisfactory performance. These rumors were not unfounded, as the basis of his policy was his desire to get all financial streams (including ones from humanitarian aid cargos) under his own control. It resulted in “the failure of the offensive operation on Kyiv” (“the command to attack was not given in time, while Armed Forces of Ukraine continued accumulation of military equipment at the borders,” – the official explains). This and a number of other factors caused and continues causing the Russian command’s extreme dissatisfaction with the actions of Zakharchenko, although, at the moment, he is free and doing well. Perhaps, the rumors about his arrest were exaggerated or hushed up.

I want to point out Zakharchenko’s special attitude towards the format of the existence of the new state. He is openly willing to sacrifice the creation of Novorossia in favor of the “puppet state DNR”. His initiative is supported by Denis Pushilin [a former leader of the DNR], who actively opposes Novorossia in mass media and advocates for giving Donetsk “a special status within Ukraine”. Citizens of the DNR through the media are strongly recommended to pay for all public services and utilities. Later, it became known that the [Donetsk] authorities receive a kickback from the sums of money transferred to Ukraine for public services. And when the head of the DNR announced about paying off loans to Privatbank, owned by [a Ukrainian billionaire]Ihor Kolomoisky, Kiev’s authorities gave him a standing ovation.

But the most outrageous part of Zakharchenko’s activity is his profiteering from humanitarian aid gathered by brotherly Russia. His actions are criminal towards the representatives of the regions of Russia, who themselves are affected by price increases, suffer from a lack of money caused by underfunding, but who, despite all those difficulties, have gathered so necessary for the population of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts goods that may, at least a little, help to postpone a humanitarian catastrophe. Under these dire circumstances, this precious humanitarian aid disappears immediately after crossing the border! However, the most amazing discoveries can be made if one traces the fate of this aid.

Firstly, most of the cargo goes to the town of Shakhtarsk where at warehouses it is repacked in packages labeled “Akhmetov’s Fund” and is being distributed on behalf of the local oligarchy in the towns and villages of the liberated areas of Donetsk Oblast.

Secondly,part of this aid comes into grocery stores and markets. The resulting revenue goes directly to Alexander Zakharchenko and Ihor Plotnitsky [head of the Luhansk People’s Republic]. Cheap drugs are distributed through pharmacies and hospitals, more expensive ones are sold at much a higher price to the hospitals, as well as in the “underground” drug stores, where there is no shortage of any drugs, however, the order can be made only by phone.

The position and fate of other members of the “national elite” of the DNR are also of a great interest.

On December 13, 2014, Sergey Danilov was arrested on his way to Boris Litvinov’s to discuss a unified monetary system of Novorossia and the possibility of introducing a “state” unified monetary unit. At the same time, with Mr. Surkov’s assistance, Zakharchenko stated his strong opposition to this project. Later, Litvinov himself was arrested and then released; Danilov was released much later.

The Minister of taxes and fees of the DNR with the nickname “Tashkent” is another prominent politician. He is a close friend of the head of the DNR. This status provides him with the obvious immunity. He openly enjoys driving a stolen car around the city accompanied by his security.

Speaking about Oleg Tsarev, great efforts are made to keep him as far from Donetsk, as possible. Although, the image of him as a true leader of the newly created state remains bright in the eyes and minds of many in the DNR. He is opposed by Alexander Coffman, who claims his rights to the Tsarev’s position.

To summarize, I must admit that the formation of the government in the DNR goes exactly according to the scheme that was opposed by the people of eastern Ukraine: people who do nothing but rob and steal are appointed to run the country. The main criterion of their selection is absolute loyalty to the leader, loyalty to Zakharchenko.”

On September 3, 2014 locals observed a convoy of 25 combat vehicles in the territory of Luhansk oblast. That convoy included one BTR-80, two main T-72B3 battle tanks, and three ‘Strela-10′ SPGs, mounted on MT-LB tracked vehicles.

On September 22, 2014, Russian media portal ANNA NEWS tried to pass off the Russian T-72B3 tanks destroyed near Starobeshevo as Ukrainian equipment in their video report .

On December 2, 2014, an armored convoy of 20 units passed through Luhansk. Six tanks were observed in the convoy, including T-72B3s.
